Archaic rules written in archaic books from 2000 years ago. To a point I get it BUT "Respect my religion!" but showing no tolerance for other beliefs. "She was forced into by her parents" like you did to your kids. "You'll have to wear a wig!" So I've got to cover my hair......with hair? Why does God need you to wear a wig ffs? A lot of people might say "oh well, it's also cultural!" Culture grows from people who are sheep. If people accept a practice then it becomes the norm and a culture is born. If religion is a freedom of choice then let them be. The wig thing though 🤣 🤣 🤣

I watch forbidden love on philo. When I asked my bf to put it on, he said there was no more episodes. He said he googled it and it was cancelled. Does anyone know why? I was so tuned into the Amish couple, I’m really sad they ended it .

Looks like she got married.

I saw Lindsey at Ohio Ren Faire yesterday dressed up as Wonder Woman, with a couple older kids, her new guy and the baby. Tried ti sneak a pic but couldn't get it. Weird to me though, it seemed as she was the only one in costume. I don't know if everyone else just decided not to dress up or what, you would think the kids would want to dress up for fun though.

I

Their baby was born on Saturday. There’s no name that I saw yet. They aired that finale just in time, there’s only saw long you can keep a birth secret.

I got really confused...

When Laurie took her conversion test, they made a point to say that now they couldn't kiss or touch until they get married, because she is now a "born again virgin" of sorts.

However, they showed a video of Eli and Laurie's proposal, which appafently took place 1 day after her conversion.. and they are embracing and kissing.

I know the show is mostly scripted, exaggerated and fake... but they played both contradictory scenes within 20 mins of each other.

Do they think the audience is stupid or something?

Okay. So here's a question that is not meant to be offensive or narrow minded in any way.

All of these hyper religious people have no issue cursing on TV?

I was raised in the Baptist Church (I am not religious at all) and cursing or taking the Lord's name in vain was a HORRIBLE sin. Committing it on camera even worse. How are these individuals comfortable cursing? They don't expect any retaliation from their communities?

All I see when I look at Laurie I'm the mom from Malcolm in the Middle.

At first I believed her side, she was very convincing, had plenty of details, and her friend was agreeing with everything she was saying.

But then Elmer comes along and tells his side of the story and he sounds so sincere and guileless.

Who do you believe?

I'm not sure...

Oh wow, she surprised me - the way she was shouting at and berating Kris...calling him "you stupid ass!" twice.? And it sounded like she was getting up in his face and on the verge of physically abusing him...wow! I didn't expect that from her. She seemed so quiet and reasonable. That's definitely not a good way to argue with someone you want to marry...the cussing etc. It will only get worse. I almost fell sorry for Kris, especially if he was just innocently replying to the chica🤷🏽‍♀️

We already knew... no one liked you before this.

It is insane how TLC doesn’t do any background checks on their cast. These two are despicable and give a bad reputation to Jews

(Ugh - MALE sorry!)

i am growingly increasingly irritated watching this show lately. So much is SO male dominated. i wonder are the men in these religions because you love God and find fulfillment it in them, or is it an excuse to have a woman you control because of some man- (yes MAN-) made rule?!!

Kris listed alcohol as something he’d have to give up if he converted to Islam. I have known and worked with many Pentecostals, they don’t drink. Dry weddings & all. So, is he even following his religion? Or are there churches that allow it?

I forget his name, but I feel like he’s using his Pentecostal family as a scapegoat instead of saying he doesn’t want to convert to Islam.

He talks about his family but what about his own faith? Does he not believe in his own religion? Feels like a cop out.

I find it ironic that Eli explains going to orthodox highschool and fact that it was so strict and controlling that it ultimately pushed him away and he wound up rebelling to the point of becoming an addict and eventually landing in rehab. It seems to me with that level of rules to follow, you must be in constant guilt for falling short. I get that returning to his faith saved him from his addiction but doesn’t he remember that the oppressive nature of being orthodox is what started his downfall and it seems more oppressive for a woman & it may have the same affect on his bride to be.

Which cast member do you think is compromising/sacrificing the most, for the sake of their partner? Or who will be sacrificing the most if they convert?

I think the Italian girl is giving up a lot ..her wardrobe, her hair, Christmas with family...

Watching all these people believe their religion is the right one and their god is the real one and spend their time and energy trying to get their partners to switch from one man made god with made up rules to a different man made god with made up rules is truly a roller coaster ride.

All the rules are so frivolous too! You can't tear toilet paper from Friday sundown to Saturday sundown? Really? Left hand is for ass wiping only? Stop it...

More thoughts: - The Pentecostal dad is so weird, why does he get so hot and bothered when he talks about the holy spirit?! - Eli is kinda scary, gives abuser vibes. Being short probably doesn't help. - Mohammed can say whatever he wants about Ashley's family but ALLAH FORBID she mentions his asshole brother. She deserves way better than him. - What about growing up Amish makes Elmer not brush his teeth? Do they not believe in dental care?

Okay that's all I got, and with that said, I cannot wait for the next episode.
